From Maryland State Police:
Maryland State Police are investigating a motorcycle crash in which one person died early Sunday morning in Harford County.
About 1:45 a.m. troopers from the Maryland State Police Bel Air Barrack responded to the report of a motorcycle crash in the area of northbound Rt-1 Bel Air Road just north of Rock Spring Road. The driver of the motorcycle, Michael Lynn Maples, 44, of Forest Hill, Md., was pronounced deceased at the location by emergency medical technicians.
The preliminary investigation indicates the deceased lost control of the motorcycle before going off the road hitting a light pole. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Harford County Teacher says
Such tragic news…44 is too young to leave this world. My heart goes out to his loved ones who are grieving.
Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine
Et lux perpetua luceat ei:
Requiescat in pace.
Amen.
SHIRLEY says
Prayers for his family.
Sharon Moxley says
Prayers for Laurie and their children…xo

Mike you and your liberal friends sicken me with your disregard for “all lives”. Your defeat President Trump at all cost including manifesting an inflated view of the existence of white nationalism to cause racial divide is sad. Black gang members killed and harmed more people over the weekend than white nationalists have in 50 years. You guys don’t want to address that because it might threaten your voter base. I am a Christian and I don’t put politics above the value of any life. You guys are pathetic. Hey Mike by the way , your buddy Bill Maher is on record on video stated that he “hoped” our country would have a recession as long as it maligns President Trump. Your idle is a millionaire and could easily live through a recession. You and your liberal friends continue to put up your facade like you really care about people.
The real Just fit says
Mike how come you liberals avoid the topic of black on black violence victimizing thousands every year. Shouldn’t that be an important political topic. Why are liberals reluctant or flat out scared to address bad behavior by black people? People are dying but few want to address it if the violators are people of color.
The real Just for says
I guess Mike couldn’t find a video to support the hypocrisy of he and his liberal friends. Just what this country doesn’t need more race baiters.
Minion says
So…is Mike saying that Bernie Sanders was involved in this motorcycle accident?
The real Just for says
Mike C. put that Bernie Sanders white nationalist crap on this thread and I just responded. Anyone that uses Bill Maher on a regular basis as there point of reference to make political points makes my butt hurt. Sorry
Truth Be Told says
NHD lets dissect your statement:
“Well, for starters, the firearm enthusiast culture in this country will most likely drastically change in the years to come.” – Drastically change? Why please provide some basis of your assumption. If anything more people will buy more guns as we watch this government do what it does.
“Most gun owners I know are law abiding, family and community orientated folks who will agree and enthusiastically comply with all firearm laws passed locally and a federally” – Will agree and enthusiastically comply? Got news for you the average gun owner is not going to comply with laws that are unconstitutional.
“They would rather have their career and be willing to give up their guns if there was any law to be passed making them illegal contraband.” This right here is asinine statement and shows just how clueless you are…..
Truth Be Told says
NHD how does what you suggest solve anything? In fact it does nothing but punish the law abiding citizen. Kind of like preventing concealed carry in State of Maryland. At the end of the day you cant possibly enforce it. So here we are again taking extreme measures that result in no improvement.
Wtf says
What about all the white mass shooters ?

They would rather have their career and be willing to give up their guns if there was any law to be passed making them illegal contraband.
Minion says
Are you suggesting that the person who died in this motorcycle crash was actually a victim of “gun violence?”
North Harford Democrat says
Not at all.
Just typing irrelevant commentary in regards to the published article.
Thank you.

Harford County Republican says
NHD. While you are not doing anything why don’t you give the Harford County 911 Center a call on one of their nonemergency lines. Ask them what the average response time to your residence would be. Might change your perspective. Then again it might not. Food for thought.
Truth Be Told says
You don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground……
? says
Who are you talking to truth?
Truth Be Told says
I am talking to NHD who makes asinine statements about guns and law abiding citizens who own them.
North Harford Democrat says
If you’re a “law abiding” gun owner, and the state and/or federal government hypothetically passed laws that would require firearms like the AR-15/AK-47 and copied banned for sale/transfer/possession.
Tell me what you would do besides follow the law?
What is asinine?
Do you honestly believe with all these single terrible events involving semi automatic rifles with standard capacity magazines that hold 39 rounds of ammunition or greater that political opinion and action is going to favor doing nothing?
The real Just for says
Mike, have I told you how attracted I am to you? 🙂
Sabrina says
The deceased, Michael Maples, was one of the most genuine, kindhearted, and good natured men I have ever known. For you to attempt to tarnish his name with your suggestion, especially without ever having met him, shows nothing but your lack of character. Mike was a dedicated and hardworking husband, father, and little league coach. Anyone who knew him was made better for it.

What was the person who made this comment suggesting? Please elaborate on your assumption.
Thank you.

ASIDE FROM GETTING BUSTED STANDING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH WHITE SUPREMACIST’S…. THIS IMAGE SHARED BY THE SQUAD THAT IS DRAWN BY CARTOONIST WITH ANTI JEW AGENDA WHO WON 2ND PRIZE IN IRANIAN “KILL DA JOO” CARTOON CONTEST A FEW YEARS AGO https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECNx5eTXsAAmRjc?format=jpg&name=medium ironic is the quote from the cartonist himself…perfectly describing taleib and omar… >>“No doubt about real anti-Semitism. Of course you’ll have people hijacking the Palestinian struggle as a chance for bashing the Jews, like European neo-Nazis who demonstrate against the occupation of Palestinian territories or the Iraq War.”

He is dead. Does it matter what his beliefs are anymore?
Mike Callahan says
The cop who killed Eric Garner 5 years ago finally lost his job! Shouldn’t he be on trial for that killing?

Hey bud, got news for you too. Gun owners don’t get to pick and choose what laws are constitutional, last time I checked everything our great state of Maryland has passed for gun law is constitutional and has not been over turned.
Gun owners will comply with all future gun law and regulation because they are law abiding. If you are not complying with gun laws, you are not law abiding and would be subject to criminal charges.
SoulCrusher says
ALL Gun Laws are unconstitutional. Period. End of discussion. We tolerate them because there is some nut ball psychotic people in this world whom wish to kill innocent people whom don’t deserve to die. When we look at the Constitution & the Bill of Rights, we know that no person should be denied any right unless they have caused harm to others by exercising those rights. There is NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY granted to the STATE OF MARYLAND regarding gun control. The Constitution of Maryland is just as confining as the US Constitution and no authority was ordained to the Legislature to pass any gun legislation. That’s the way it is. ALL Gun Laws are unconstitutional due to a lack of Constitutional authority and we specifically know this from the Supreme Court decision of Marbury v. Madison (1803). Under the substantive due process doctrine of the 5th and 14th amendments all unconstitutional law is not just voidable, it is simply void. Nobody wants to spend the money and be terrorized by the terrorists you call law enforcement in order to nullify a law they partially agree with. This is a Constitutional Republic and every treasonous law you Democratic traitors instate can be stricken down, however it wouldn’t happen in a Maryland Court because they are a Court of the Legislature. However, no judgement by any legislative court is ever considered correct because they aren’t an Article III court and only an Article III has jurisdiction of an issue such as this because it involves Constitutional rights. Only the Supreme Court can make such a ruling and if they did the Court could be declared treasonous.
LOL says
It warms my soul to see some two bit convicted drug dealer profess his in depth knowledge of the Constitution and the Bill of rights from his moms basement.
SoulCrusher says
Nothing you’re saying has anything to do with the gun laws not being unconstitutional. My past and the false convictions that have illegally attainted me a felon in a State where Article 18 of the Declaration of Rights forbids that conviction is ALL the proof that anyone ever needs to realize that the STATE OF MARYLAND is treasonous. Just because you’re reading the words from a persecuted member of society doesn’t mean those words aren’t true.
SoulCrusher says
On second thought, you’re right. I’m just a two bit convicted drug dealer who has no idea what I’m talking about. I’ve got a great idea. Why don’t you come and murder me? You know you want to do it. I’m waiting right here in Mom’s basement. That is, if you got the guts to come and get the job done….traitor.
LOL says
You Moms a big woman I’m afraid she might sit on me or mistake me for a ham sandwich….
SoulCrusher says
You’re very mistaken. My Mom’s not a big woman at all. Besides, the only thing you’d have to worry about is ME. I’m your huckleberry you come messing around here and that’s all you need to know.
Never Cease 2 Be Amazed says
There is something very wrong with you people. This article is NOT political. This is an article about a man who was killed in a tragic accident. A family lost a son, a husband, a father, a brother, and all you buffoons can do is argue about politics! WTF is wring with you. You should all be ashamed. Congratulations for being EXACTLY what is wrong with our great country right now. Imagine if this was your family member. You all disgust me.
